I can just use the other monitors for poker/web/word right?

Yeah. I'd make the monitor attached to your PCIe card your main one, with the 2 others just for poker/basic apps.

It certianly can be done.

I have a similar Dell with 3 2001 monitors running off it, the included video card and I filled the two PCI with 2 Generic 64mb video cards that I paid like $25 bucks each for off PriceWatch.com.

Oh this is an even better idea.

Why get a dual DVI card when I can just get 2 cheap ass PCI cards with DVI. Ooo, i like this idea.

Here is one that is dual analog, for $38.

Max. display cap. 2048x1536

By the looks of the back of that model computer, only one slot seems to be open. So this one works perfect and its cheap. Unless you must have DVI.

I think I might buy this card myself to replace the ones I have now.

Thanks, ones on the way here. Now, if Dell would just put out another good deal, I am all set.
